Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1788" and ∠1923".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2034 after 15 days on 27 October 2034 at 12:42.
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
At 07:33 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 430 of Meeus index or 1383 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 44 minutes. It is 1 hour and 14 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 3 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠141.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠168.1°.
12 days after point of perigee on 30 September 2034 at 04:10 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 16 October 2034 at 00:06 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 400 918 km (249 119 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 022 km (252 290 mi).
2 days after ascending node on 10 October 2034 at 06:34 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 24 October 2034 at 18:23 in ♓ Pisces.
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
8 days since the previous standstill on 4 October 2034 at 01:15 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.200°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.265° at the point of next southern standstill on 18 October 2034 at 10:02 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
